How about a shower bench with a shower hose.  Not as comfortable as a good
long soak though. The shower hoses can be bought with a kit that attaches
them to the wall and you can adjust them up or down for the spray.  There
are also very expensive shower lounge chairs to be bought from different
companies, that would put you up farther.
